Ranking every Eagles opponent on their 2022 NFL schedule
. . New York Giants. 11. team. 31.
No Eagles fan will complain about seeing the Giants and Commanders struggle.
It’s been referred to as the ‘NFC Least’ for good reason, but gone are the days where eight or nine wins will win the division. As much as it pains us to say this, the Eagles are looking up at the Cowboys now, but they can still hang their hats on the fact that they aren’t as bad as the Commanders or Giants.
New York should be everyone’s pick to land in the division’s cellar, and their recent hire of Brian Daboll shouldn’t frighten anyone. This is still one of the worst teams in the entire NFL.
. . Chicago Bears. 10. team. 57.
The Matt Nagy era is over. It’s Matt Eberflus’ show now, and he’ll be hitching his wagon to Justin Fields, who, despite his athleticism, was under pressure on more than 43 percent of his dropbacks in 2021.
That’s the second-highest rate in the NFL, and now he figures to lose his best receiver, Allen Robinson, when the free agency cycle gets underway. It’s a bad time to be a Chicago Bears fan.
9. team. 58. . . . Washington Commanders
Ron Rivera, one of the branches from Andy Reid’s coaching tree and a former Eagles linebacker coach, continues to make it impossible for us to wish him well. He enters his third season as the head coach of the NFL’s franchise in our great nation’s capital, but whether they call themselves The Football Team or the Commanders, they’re still one of the three teams Birds fans despise the most.
As of now, we’re writing their names down as two wins on the Eagles’ 2022-2023 regular-season schedule.
